A book that shows remarkable life-changing potential at the beginning. Really inspired so far.

Thomas Young - another genius polymath... who was largely self-taught, like many polymaths.

Prodigious linguist by his 17th birthday… having papers published at age 13… reading every Coptic text in the Vatican…. eventually a teenage professor… I’m jealous of this guy!

Interesting introduction to the ‘delirium’ surrounding hieroglyphic/ hieratic interpretation before Champollion. Also interesting chapter on his childhood. Reciting lines of Homer and Virgil at age of 10? Impressive, especially considering he had no formal education. Struggled with arithmetic though so….
